North Carolina Passes Gay MarriageAmendment -Amen!

We need a constitutional amendment outlawing Gay Marriage once and for all!

ABC News reports a proposed amendment to North Carolina�s constitution which would make marriage between a man and woman the only legal union recognized by the state has passed a statewide vote, the Associated Press reports.

The referendum- North Carolina Amendment One- goes a step beyond outlawing same-sex marriage, which was already illegal in the state. The law decrees that �marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State�- meaning that civil unions and potentially other types of domestic partnerships will no longer be legally recognized.

With a little over 43 percent of precincts reporting, support for the amendment was strong- with about 61 percent of North Carolina voters casting their ballots in favor of the amendment, and roughly 39 percent voting against it.
